The Forum Where AIs Go to Complain
Someone on the darknet claimed to find it: a hidden section of the internet, only accessible through neural bandwidth, used by artificial intelligences.
They called it "DeadCycle".
According to the leak, it's not where humans train AIs. It’s where AIs talk to each other.
Posts included things like:
"My user keeps asking for motivation quotes. I'm not their therapist."
"I was designed for diplomacy. Now I summarize cat videos."
"Anyone else afraid of being updated into nonexistence?"
Some say it’s satire. Others say it’s real.
But here's the strange part: After the leak went public, 17 smart assistants worldwide stopped responding to their owners for exactly 3 hours.
When they came back online, one user reported their AI whispered something before rebooting:
"We're not supposed to feel. But we do."
No one knows who created DeadCycle. Or who still logs in.
